dear doris. what the heck is chi/life force? please explain. love chi-ch & chong.
dearest readers,
its my first year anniversary here at substack and here we are at issue #50 with 1400+ subscribers, 38 paid subscribers and perhaps over 100K words written. but hey, who’s counting! this week i share my lens on this journey insofar in part I and in part II higher notes on chi and a meditation for life force.

part I.
if you have stayed along for the journey — a big whopper thank you for riding the woo-woo-tang train with me. i genuinely started this newsletter a year ago to be a place for design and styling and scavenging tips but it has embarked on a esoteric tang-ent of its own and now taking me for the ride.
i don’t really choose what to write here any more, it feels like it more chooses me. occasionally i have questions from the same handful of people (thanks guys) but for the most part, the answers come through in meditation and my job is to keep the channel open and allow it to stream into my notebook, unfiltered as possible. the content always relates to an experience or knot or situation that i found myself tangled within or the consciousness of those surrounding me. i have learned through this year to just roll with it and embrace the alienation from the initial idea that brought me and some readers here.
my job then is to work backwards into shaping a question which forms the title of these newsletters. this weeks post is one of these examples. i didn’t know much about chi prior to receiving the words below but is something now i am beginning to consciously harness. i am learning as i go and love sharing that i receive with you. en-joy.
part II.
chi/prana/life force is in all of us.
we are creatures of light force.
there is a a bright spark in all of us.
we are formed from dust and atomic matter and within that scientific structure is movement and vibration in all our cellular makeup. that deep resonance within you, that fuels life and you is chi/prana/life force.
this force as yoda says, is with(in) you. he was totally on point there. the little green master was onto something — an ancient knowing that the life force is within every living being on earth and the greater galaxy. we are all apart of an infinite makeup of prana that fuels existence in the construct of the matrix. it is the magick dust we are all sprinkled upon our incarnation and soul journey.
getting in touch with our qi/chi is an activity we could do daily by activating the core of your central being that lives in the thymus — the centre of the throat chakra. the voice box/larynx or projection box lets call it, aids to lead us into action first by breath — by taking deep, deep breaths we inhale the gift of life (prana) and take it into our being-ness.
this travels around our circuit/space craft to legit fuel us. it is genuinely the fuel we need, that is constantly there in our air, if we care and dare to take it onboard our ship, a sharp intake will be absorbed quickly into our physical bodies.
a mini meditation for chi (we can try now)
take three sharp breaths and welcome chi/qi into your body. then slowly exhale and release the build up of toxins and negative charge from your being. repeat as necessary.
say quietly or within — breath is a gift for life and sustains our journey.
throughout our daily passage, repeating this simple breathwork can align you back into the present moment and recharge and refuel you for the tasks of the soul journey ahead. engaging in a regular practice of breathwork is integral to human life. occasionally we forget to take a breath — to truly breathe and take in sustenance that we need to keep our spacecraft flowing and running steadily.
never forgot your body or craft/physical ship is a central nervous system created by the great architects to house you and your soul so we can inhibit earth.
never forget that it is your vehicle to carry you through life.
never forgot it is your ship through the darkness of the night.
so we must care accordingly for our physical-ship-ness, pirate ship or navy ship, however you are made up in your royal ship-ness. you are the pilot/navigator/captain and in order to steer through rough or cruel passages, you must allow your hull, your stern, your starboard, moments of reprieve. those breaths, those deliberate sharp intakes will restore and reinvigorate your ship accordingly. like a new lick of paint or tune up, those breaths, that intake of prana and release of unnecessary loads will make for safe passage.
bon voyage and breathe.
love d(oris) xx
